You can find other stories from the first and second issues of Fantasy Scroll Magazine here. I’ve been through almost all of them and there’s a lot of quality writing.

I wrote this story a long time ago, and it was sitting in a file on my computer for quite a few years. It was one of those stories that had been brewing for a long time and then one day it just sort of appeared. It has gone through a few edits, but nothing major. This is one of those lucky stories that didn’t need much after it was on the page. I started submitting things earlier this year and this was the first accepted story on my first submission.

I’ve had an excellent experience with Fantasy Scroll and its publisher, Iulian Ionescu. I was able to veto and/or approve any changes, ask questions (I’ve probably asked too many), and see one of my stories come to life all while being treated with patience and kindness.

This will be a short post because I hope that you’ll get your fill by taking a look at Marshmallow Walls.

Thanks, all! And best of luck to anyone currently going through the submission process!

Aw flip – I was excited to read a story but I don’t handle horror well. At all. (Like, if I play Minecraft for a few hours alone late at night, my imagination convinces me that FREAKING PIXEL SKELETONS AND CREEPERS are going to kill me just around the corner).
